It may be freezing outside but Polar Falcon will be red hot in the 8:36 South African Summer Handicap in England!

I know, I know- ‘South African Summer Handicap!- whats all that about!! Think someone somewhere is rubbing it in as we do everything possible to stay warm! Anyway punters will be excited at the odds of 42/1 for the Ken Allen’s trained ‘Polar Falcon’ in that 8:36 race. I think the bookies have taken too much notice of his 8th place finish last Monday. It was a rare blip from an otherwise fantastic horse.

In 15 races this 3 year old colt has won 7 times and been placed on 6 and I’d be very suprised if he wasn’t there or there abouts come the finishing line in England tonight. The only fear is that fitness levels may be low since he raced twice over the last 5 days. But even at that ‘Polar Falcon’ is surely worth an each way flutter!

Bookies take a risk by offering odds of 34/1 for Dalakhani

Soft going suits this 4 year old colt and I’m flabbergasted by the long odds on offer for Dalakhani in the 8:24 race. He has a healthy range of stats behind him, 45 runs, 8 wins and 21 placed finishes. The most recent of those wins came on the 10th of November on fast going in Canada. A result of note was the one back on the 19th of October though when he fought off 4 other horses to claim victory on this very track. Certainly he’ll have tougher competition tonight but at 34/1 he must be fancied for a placed finish.

Seen as Cornwall is snowed in it’s apt that ‘Terminal Frost’ should be my tip in the first race of the night!

There’s no truth in the rumour that tonight’s jockey on ‘Terminal Frost’ is a virtual Snowman! While wins have been at a premium for the Lister trained colt he does well over soft going which is what we’ll have in England tonight. One of the great things about virtual racing is that the racemeet won’t be called off due to a frozen course! Last time out the 11/2 shot in the 8:12 race finished second to ‘Fruits de Rouge’ in Australia also on soft going. That was back on the 16th of this month so he should be well rested and at peak fitness. I fancy this one for a placed finish though an each way punt wouldn’t be a bad idea either!
